INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

USER-INSTALLER CAUTION: Your authority to operate this FCC verified equipment could be
voided if you make changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equip-
ment Regulations.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel

4.2 Cautions on Connection

• When connecting or disconnecting the camera cables (for the camera head and
camera control unit), always turn off the power switch of the camera control unit
first. If not, the camera head may be damaged.
• When connecting the camera, always turn off the power of the camera control
unit and any other equipment connected.
1 Remove the camera head protection cover and mount a lens (option).
2 Connect the camera head and the camera control unit with the camera cable
(option).
3 Connect the VIDEO (or S-VIDEO) terminal of the camera control unit to a video
input terminal of a monitor, etc.
4 Connect a DC power supply (12V) to the DC IN 12V terminal of the camera control
unit.
• For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use UL listed and/or CSA
approved ungrounding type AC adaptor with the specifications described below.
Power supply voltage: DC12V ± 0.5V
Current rating: More than 800 mA

Notes:
• Current consumption must be 50 mA or less.
• Avoid an incorrect connection or short-circuit.

5. WHEN USING THE CAMERA WITH THE CAMERA UNIT FIXED

The camera control unit can be directly mounted by using M3 screws if the four rubber
feet are removed on bottom of the control unit. When mounting directly as described
above, do not use longer screws. If the screws enter by more than 5 mm from the control
unit mounting surface, they will cause a short-circuit inside the control unit. For details of
screw hole locations, refer to the exterior dimensions of the camera control unit.

10
6. OPERATION
Turn on the POWER switch on the camera control unit and adjust the lens iris and focus
while observing a picture on the monitor screen. To obtain the best picture quality, per-
form various settings.

6.1 AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

AGC functions “OFF”, “ON” or “UP” can be selected on the screen menu. Generally, the
camera is used with the AGC set to OFF, but when increased camera sensitivity is re-
quired, it is set to ON. When more sensitivity is required, “UP” is selected. With the AGC
ON, the camera sensitivity approximately doubles, and with the UP selected the sensitiv-
ity approximately doubles again, but noise will also increase. We recommend you in-
crease intensity of the lighting to obtain good pictures.
The AGC measurement area is the same as that used for “AREA”. (Refer to item 7.5)

6.2 White Balance

A white balance adjustment is necessary to obtain pictures with correct color tone. This
camera allows you to select the white balance adjustment of “AUTO”, “SET”, and
“MANU”. With the AUTO mode selected, the camera adjusts the white balance automati-
cally. Most shooting will be made in the AUTO mode. The color temperature applicable to
this camera is approximately 2500 to 7000K.

(1.1) White balance adjustment in SET mode

1 Set the WB switch to “SET” position.
2 Shoot a white object to fill entire screen and press the UP button ( , ) for about 2
sec.
3 When the white balance adjustment completes, the letters “WB SET” blinking at
the upper right of the screen changes to “WB OK” and then turns off. If the “WB
NG” is displayed, it shows the white balance is out of the adjustment range. This
is caused by the object not being white enough, or the video level is set too high
or too low even if the white object is shot. Shoot the white object or set the video
level correctly.
Note:
• With the screen menu displayed, the UP button is used for moving the
cursor or modifying the data. To activate the SET mode by pressing the
UP button, turn off the screen menu.

(1.2) White balance adjustment in MANU mode

1 Set the WB switch to “MANU” position.
2 Shoot the white object and adjust the white balance by adjusting the white bal-
ance adjust controls “R” and “B” with the screwdriver while observing the moni-
tor or vector scope.

8. EXTERNAL SYNC
When using the camera with external sync, connect a composite video signal (C-VIDEO)
to the EXT SYNC terminal on back of the camera control unit. When the camera accepts
external sync, it is automatically switched from the internal sync to the external sync.

(1) External sync signal input conditions

C-VIDEO : SYNC section 0.3 ± 0.1V
(75Ω unbalanced) BURST section 0.3 ± 0.1V

(2) External sync frequency range

Within ±50 ppm in reference to NTSC standard frequency
(H frequency 15733.5 Hz to 15735.0 Hz)

(3) Using the camera with external sync signal

When using more than two cameras in external synchronization, this adjustment allows
matching of color tone between two cameras. Adjust H (horizontal) phase and SC (sub
carrier) phase if necessary.

Perform a coarse adjustment for 0, 90, 180, or
